SPFBO Sampler
Though I was eliminated in the semi-final of the SPFBO, I’ve still been following the competition with great excitement – finalist reviews are trickling in steadily…
The whole point of the SPFBO is to shine a light on self-published fantasy works that might otherwise go entirely unnoticed. That’s the curse of self-publishing – it’s much harder to get a book onto the radar of most readers.
The competition has brought so many great books to light already – but now, thanks to the efforts of the wonderful Jon Auerbach (author of Guild of Tokens), we can take that even further.

The SPFBO Sampler is a first for the competition – over 70 of the entrants (including me!) have submitted extracts from our work to be included in this beautiful, free to download digest. It’s split by subgenre – from epic fantasy to urban, you’ll find a bit of everything in here. The calibre of this year’s SPFBO entrants has been superb, and this is a great way to take a look at a huge selection of them.
So, if you’re looking for a sneak peek at The Blackbird and the Ghost, or if you want to check out some of the other amazing books in this year’s competition, please give it a look!
I can’t thank Jon enough for so generously compiling the whole thing, Luke for his gorgeous artwork and Mark Lawrence for a) organising the whole competition and b) writing a lovely foreword! I’m really privileged to stand here alongside all these other amazing writers.
